    I need to place two piggy banks on the dash of my car.  One to pay for my next strawanna sundae and another to save for liposuction.  So hard no to overindulge when something is so good.  Custard is so smooth and tasty it shouldn't be legal!

    My family owned a frozen custard stand in Ohio, and this is the best stuff I've had since ours closed.  The custard is fresh, has a high fat content which makes it melt in your mouth and comes in vanilla or chocolate.

    The concretes are awesome (kind of like a DQ blizzard).  Each month they have a special flavor.  The best months are August and November when they mix in a whole slice of key lime or pumpkin pie in with vanilla custard.  Aaaaaamazzzzzing!!!

    I also like that they have half size sundaes.  The Ozark Turtle and Strawanna are both favorites.  

    There is no indoor seating--only a drive through or walk up windows with outside tables.  You'll feel like you're in Happy Days with the neon sign and music blaring.

    When I first saw drove past Andy's (not seeing Frozen Custard on the sign), it looked like a renovated 60's diner.  I was like..."Cool!  They must sell great hamburgers there!"  The next day I decided to go check it out...HEY, it's not a diner but a cute lil frozen custard place!!  

    This place gets straight A's in the art of making frozen custard!!  I find this place to be BETTER than Ted Drewes in St. Louis and I'm FROM St. Louis (where people look at you funny if you don't love Ted Drewes!)  

    The taste: Uhmm...SO DELICIOUS!!  Supposedly their custard is made fresh by the hour!  Everytime I go, I see it being churned from their custard machines.  They have a variety of fruits and sweets to satisfy every type of palette.  All of their fruits are fresh and blended perfectly with their custard!  They have seasonal treats (summer: key lime pie; fall: pumpkin).  Everything on the menu is a treat to the buds.  

    Service: They always have about nine workers on the clock.  They all wear matching white uniforms and their work areas are squeaky clean and so you'll notice that this place looks more like a factory than any ole ice cream shop!

    Location:  It's tucked behind an auto repair shop and taco bell on Nifong and Providence across from Hu Hot.  There is a drive-thru if you're too lazy to get out, as well as, a couple of walk up counters complete with benches.  Expect long lines on nice weather days and the summer.  

    What's Not on the Menu:

    JC and Cosmo concrete (named after the two local radio DJs in the area, it tastes like a snickers concrete but 10x better!)

    In my day Shakey's was the place to go for a cool treat with your dorm buddies, now Andy's seems to have taken over that territory. The window staff are young and friendly and serve up yummy custard treats on the quick. A small cherry and strawberry concrete was tasty on the warm night I visited, but held no candle to St. Louis' best concrete - Ted Drewes.

    I've been going here quite a bit.  I think it's part of the reason that I can't run very fast anymore.  The concretes are pretty fantastic.  I like hot fudge and roasted pecans myself.
    I'm still upset that they don't have waffle cones...

    Probably the best soft-serve around

      Well, before I get called out for giving this a four, maybe I should preface this review...

    Their sundae with brownies and pecans and cherries is nothing but AMAZING.
